Group 1 - The core issue raised by US Treasury Secretary Bessent at the G7 meeting was whether European leaders would be willing to impose secondary tariffs of up to 200% on China, which left them in silence, indicating the complexity of current international relations [1] - The US is attempting to shift the burden of opposing China onto its allies while being hesitant to initiate a new tariff war alone, reflecting a dilemma in US-China policy [1][3] - European countries are cautious about becoming collateral damage in a US-led tariff war against China, showing a preference for limited competition rather than full-scale trade conflict [3][5] Group 2 - The EU recognizes that imposing high tariffs alongside the US could provoke a strong retaliation from China, which is a risk they are unwilling to take [5] - The ongoing trade war between the US and China has taught many countries that such conflicts often result in mutual economic harm, leading to a reevaluation of trade strategies [5][7] - The concept of a "tariff alliance" proposed by Trump appears unrealistic as countries are increasingly aware that strengthening trade barriers may complicate global economic relations [7]
